Vestas will supply and commission 79 1.8MW wind turbines (44 model V100 and 35 model V90) at Capital Power’s proposed 142MW Quality Wind Project in British Columbia.
Turbine supply and maintenance agreements have also been signed for 58 1.8MW wind turbines (V90) for the 105MW Port Dover and Nanticoke Wind Project in Ontario, and 150 1.8MW turbines (V90) for the proposed 270MW Kingsbridge II project also located in Ontario.
The agreements cover all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance for the towers and turbines for a period of 10 years following commissioning. Capital Power will be responsible for the installation of the turbines and towers.
The projects are expected to proceed upon provincial environmental and regulatory approvals, and in the case of Kingsbridge II, an award of a Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) power contract with the Ontario Power Authority.
Brian Vaasjo, president and CEO of Capital Power, said: “These turbine agreements with Vestas represent a significant milestone as the majority of the capital costs for the projects are now fixed, providing cost certainty and capitalizing on economies of scale.”
